TN in this model there is a 4k ips model but it's £1000. In my opinion the screen is pretty good. My only complaint is the trackpad

how do you find the screen as the reviews say it is awful

I don't think the screen is bad at all. I have a 1080p ips monitor and I don't see much difference really although I'm no expert. I looked at the reviews before buying it and 80% of the time it will be hooked up to an external monitor. If it bothered you so much there is a tutorial to change the screen to a 1080p ips screen. but as I said I don't think it's bad at all.

Cool - thanks for feedback. I probably get too hung up on reviews. you tried any other games?

Isn't it worth paying £30 more for 4gb of extra RAM memory and an extra 2gb of GPU ram (http://www.very.co.uk/lenovo-y50-70-intelreg-coretrade-i7-processor-16gb-ram-1tb-hard-drive-8gb-ssd-wi-fi-156-inch-laptop-with-4gb-dedicated-graphics-black/1409812074.prd)? But this one doesn't seem to have the 10% Buy Now Pay Later option

But you can get a 4gb RAM stick fairly cheaply now and from what I have read there is very little difference in the 2gb and 4gb 860m. Do you think this would play witcher 3 on say medium settings?

it really doesn't need the extra 4gb ram! 12gb is probbably overkill. Yeah I would say so as it plays dying light on pretty high settings.

Bought one of the previous deals with Very and the laptop had already been opened, the screen had a dead pixel on it, the trackpad was also faulty and video's played very sluggish. Was a nightmare to return as they "don't except returns on laptops", spent hours on the phone going mental about it. Ended up just sending it back and got it sorted. I would have no confidence to use this company again. How can you be assured your getting new and not ex-catalogue? Are these slight fault cast off's from Lenovo? A number of people have now reported the same issues with open boxes!
